You can use iTunes to transfer contacts from iPhone to PC to mac by following steps:

1. Connect your iPhone to your PC using a USB cable.

2. Once iTunes has opened, press the iPhone icon that appears on the left-hand side of the iTunes window.

3. Click Info And then tick the box next to Sync Address Book and Contacts.

4. Now press Sync at the bottom of the screen and all your iPhone contacts will be copied to your PC.

Or you can export contacts from iCloud, it's much more easier.

Hi,

Here is how to transfer contacts from iPhone to computer.

Step 1. Merge your iPhone contacts with iCloud

Before doing anything else, open your iPhone and go to Settings > iCloud. Then click to turn "On" the "Contacts". At this time, you'll see a pop-up message asking if you want to merge the contacts. Choose "Merge". Then just wait until the process is complete.

Step 2. Log in your iCloud account on computer to export your contacts

After the first step, switch to your computer and go to iCloud.com. Sign in with your Apple account.

After entering iCloud, click "Contacts" to open your address book. Continue clicking on the cog icon at the bottom left and choose "Export vCar...". Then you've transferred your iPhone contacts to the computer.

If you'd rather skip syncing the iPhone with iTunes and still export the contacts to your computer, use a number of apps MyContactsBackup (Windows/Mac), Phoneview (Mac), CopyTrans (Windows), etc. Here's a list of apps which you can use to export iOS contacts to PC without iTunes:

Alternatively, use iTunes and sync your iPhone contacts to Outlook on your computer or to the Mac Address Book. This method requires an iTunes sync.
